Chapter 451
Prestigious Family Marriage: Uncle vs Young Wife
âThis Madame, Zhou Zhou is sent here by his Papa. If you have doubt, I think itâs better for you to call Zhou Zhouâs Papa so you could answer.â Old Madame Dou speaks up, she sounds like an educated person.
Chen Meng looks at Old Madame Dou and examines: âWho are you?â
âMy Nai Nia.â Dou Weir comes forward two steps to block Chen Meng from Old Madame Dou. âIf you want to take Zhou Zhou, Iâll not stop you.â
Chen Mengâs focus is on Old Madame Douâs body: âYou are Dou Weirâs Nai Nai? Itâs great that I have something to talk to Dou Weirâs family member. Though I havenât met her parents, but as the grandma you should be okay. Since you know Zhou Zhou, you should have meet my son, He Ji Fan. My son, he is young and insensible. He doesnât know whatâs good and whatâs bad. But I know whatâs good and bad, I absolutely not approve my son marry to a moâ-â
âMadame He!â Dou Weir cuts off Chen Mengâs words. âI and your son are not related. If you want to take Zhou Zhou back home. Please do as your wish, we also want to go home. We will not send you off.â
Then Dou Weir just holds Old Madame Dou and walks back.
âHow could you talk that way with me? You are so uneducated!â Chen Meng is He Zhang Juâs wife. How could thereâs someone talk to her like this?
Dou Weir doesnât look back.
âMama!â Zhou Zhou looks at Dou Weir is leaving. He wants to chase after him, yet Chen Meng holds him. âZhou Zhou is good, go home with Nai Nai okay?â
âNo, I want Mama, Mama....â Zhou Zhou struggles hard but he is young so he has no lot of strength.
âMama....â
Hearing how that little guy cries so heartbreaking, all along Dou Weir doesnât look back. Old Madame Dou turns her head to look how Chen Meng takes the crying Zhou Zhou to the parking area.
âZhou Zhou is crying so hard, will he be okay?â Old Madame Dou is worried.
Dou Weir smiles and shakes her head: âThat is his grandma, what could happen?â
Old Madame Dou opens up her mouth several times, she looks like she wants to say something. Yet she doesnât.
Dou Weir notices it so she says: âWhat do you want to say, just say it.â
âYou are not accepting He Ji Fan, is it because of that Madame?â
âno.â Dou Weir closes the window: âI and he have no destiny, itâs unrelated to anyone.â
âWeir, Nai Nai always thinks that Ji Fan is a very god kid. I think that if you are with him, you will have a support. Yet I forget about his family members, how they would look at you. Today after I saw...â Indeed she is a bit disappointed. Dating is a matter between two, but marriage is between two familiesâ happiness. Having that kind of Po Po (mother-in-law), Dou Weir will not have a great life.
âWeir, if you really donât like Ji Fan, Nai Nai aso will not force you.â This time Old Madame Dou really will not force her. She doesnât want her granddaughter having a hard future. She has seen a lot of meanie mother-in law.
âYou should figure things out.â Dou Weir says. âItâs not early anymore. Let me go and buy you food to eat.â
âIâll go buy it. You could stay here.â The nurse takes initiative to run errands.
Dou Weir nods: âOkay.â She takes out 200 Yuan. âBuy lighter taste dishes for Nai Nai. Iâm on diet so Iâll not eat. For the rest, you could buy your own food. It should be hard for you to take care of Nai Nai.â
Dou Weir is always be a generous one. The nurse is happy and goes away.
âYou ah, you should be more economized.â Old Madame Dou tells her several times.
âShe would take a good care of you.â
âYou kid.....â Old Madame Dou sighs. Her granddaughter is too filial.
âââ-
He Ji Fan doesnât know that Chen Meng had taken Zhou Zhou, he also doesnât know that Chen Meng said something to Old Madame Dou.
At night he comes over to the hospital and just knows about it. He also feels that Old Madame Douâs attitude is changing. It is similar but he could feel something is trange.
âDid my Ma say something to Nai Nai?â Dou Weir sends He Ji Fan downstair.
For his motherâs attitude toward Dou Weir, he also knows about it.
Taking Zhou Zhou to Dou Weirâs place and hiding it from his family, his mother definitely would say something.
Chen Mengâs family is a very well-known government official family. Her family is well-matched in social and economic status for He family. Since she was young, she always has sense of superiority. But except her wonderful status, thereâs nothing else to say.
Her expenses are given by He Ji Fan right now, yet she looks down on someone like Dou Weir, who could earn her own money.
âWhat do you think your Ma would say?â Dou Weir doesnât answer yet she asks.
He Ji Fan is silent for a while and holds Dou Weirâs hands. âNo matter what she says, she doesnât represent my position. Weir Weir, in the future you would spend your life with me. No need to care about her words.â
Dou Weir takes back her hands and doesnât answer him. âItâs late, go home. Zhou Zhou is crying so hard before. He should need your comfort.â
âWei Weir......â
He Ji Fan doesnât leave this way.
The time he is lowering his head and kissing her. Dou Weir doesnât dodge him, she also doesnât respond. Her attitude irritates He Ji Fan. He hugs her tightly.
âIn the future, Iâll treat you well.â He Ji Fan promises to her.
Dou Weir just stays in his embrace.
âTomorrow afternoon 05:30 p.m, Iâll come over to pick you up. Letâs have dinner together. Iâll not bring Zhou Zhou, only two of us.â
Dou Weir doesnât answer, she just leaves his embrace. âYou should go back.â
âWeir, come over and eat.â Dou Weir returns to her sickroom. Old Madame Dou asks her to eat.
Dou Weir has no appetite. âYou eat it, Iâm not hungry.â
âHow could you not hungry, I havenât see you eat anything. Look, you are s skinny....â
Dou Weir has no choice so she eats half of it.
For maintaining her body, these two years she is very strict in her food consumption.
He Ji Fan returns back to He familyâs house. Except He Yun Xiao, everyone is home. Zhou Zhou had been crying for the whole afternoon, he is tired so he just sleeps.
Chen Meng looks at him and just rebukes him. âYou are too great. You hide the fact you took Zhou Zhou to Dou Weirâs place? You want to make me, your Pa, and your Nai Nai be angry? What is so good about that woman? That you could be so enchanted by her?â
She doesnât understand it. There are lots of women from rich family daughter like him, but he doesnât like them. Why should he want to be with a model?
âA, ma, Da Ge doesnât hide that from everyone. I also know about it.â He Yi Yi is eating her fruit.
Chen Meng glares at her: âYou know about it, why donât you tell me?â
He Yi Yi shows her innocent face: âYou also donât ask me. Moreover I think that Dou Weir is very good. She could earn her own money, she has good education. the most important thing, she also has a good looking. Think about it, if she marries with Da Ge, Da Ge is also handsome. In the future, their kids would be so handsome and pretty. They would be more good looking taht Zhou Zhou. What do you think Nai Nai?â
âAs the proverb says birds of a feather flock together. As far as I know, Dou Weir and Jing Da Geâs Lao Bo (Wife of Big Bro Jing/ Ye Qing Xin) are best friends. We also know that Jing Da Geâs Lao Bo gives birth to a lot of kids. Maybe Dou Weir will do the same. In the future, we will have a lot of kids in our house. Nai Nai, you will earn a lot. You will have a lot of great- grandchildren.â
Old Madame He couldnât help but to smile when she hears it.
âMa!â Chen Meng sees that Old Madame He could be persuaded easily. She calls for her to rebuke her. Then she turns her head to glare at He Yi Yi. âWhat does Dou Weir give to you that you turn your attitude toward her? Last time you said that she wasnât a cautious one during the college years, how could you change?â
âThat time I was immature and insensible. How could you think my words are true. Though Dou Weir has a lot of pursuer, but she never has a boyfriend. Your beloved daughter, me, also have a lot of pursuers, but you couldnât say that Iâm not cautious right? Right Nai Nai?â
Old Madame He nods. Her daughter is always an obedient one.
Chen Meng looks coldly at He Yi Yi: âNow you are really great ah.â
âMa, Da Ge is almost forty years old and Dou Weir is just twenty years old. Marrying with Da Ge might be a loss for her, how could you dislike her? If you guys donât like her profession, then ask her to exit the modeling profession. We have a great company, Da Ge could arrange a position for her.â Except Ji Yan Xiâs matter, He Yi Yi actually has no reason to hate Dou Weir.
He Yi Yi is so obedient.
Chen Meng is doubting that the woman, who is talking with her, is her own daughter. How could she change her attitude completely? Is she crazy?
âMoreover, Zhou Zhou also recognizes her as his own Mama. Could you guys guarantee that your chosen one, would be accepted by Zhou Zhou? What if that woman appears to treat Zhou Zhou well in front us but behind her, she mistreats Zhou Zhou? Wouldnât Zhou Zhou be so miserable?â
Old Madame He is also worried about this so she keeps on hoping that He Ji Fan would be with Ye Yu Shi together.
âHe Yi Yi! If you talk anymore, I would tear your mouth!â Chen Meng is really furious.
âOkay, Iâll stop, Iâll return to my bedroom first. Nai Nai, Pa, Ma, Da Ge, goodnihgt.â
Before she leaves, He Yi Yi glances at He Ji Fan like she is saying: âI only could help you till this part.â He Ji Fan smiles for a while, and he regains his serious composure quickly.
He sits down on the sofa and says seriously: âFor Weirâs matter, I could only say that I want to marry her, no matter you guys will approve or not.â
âA Fan!â Chen Meng is anxious: âI donât approve it.â
He Ji Fan says calmly: âItâs not you who are going to marry her.â
âYou.....â Chen Meng pants. How could He Ji Fan talk like this toward her? This should be because that Dou Weir. âZhang Ju, speak up!â
He Zhang Juâs eyes are fixed on his book, he doesnât even lift up his head. âItâs not me who is going to marry, why should I say anything?â
He Ji Fan smiles. It seems that in the house, no one really disapproves his relationship with Dou Weir.
He Ji Fan looks at Old Madame He: âMa...â
Old Madame He looks at He Ji Fan: âYou are determined?â
âEm.â
âYou have no space for discussion?â
He Ji Fan nods.
Old Madame He: âThen I also have nothing to say anything more.â
He Ji Fan is happy: âThank you Nai Nai.â
Chen Meng is so worried: âMa, you couldnât approve this. You donât know that Dou Weir used to have ectopic pregnancy. During the surgery, one of her oviduct was lifted up. The doctor said that itâs hard for her to get pregnant. She might unable to get pregnant for her whole life. You need to think carefully about it. After she marries into our family, your great grandson would only be Zhou Zhou.â
Old Madame He is shocked: âIs it real?â
Chen Meng is satisfied to see the change of expression in Old Madame Heâs face: âWhy should I lie?â
He Zhang Ju lifts up his head and looks at He Ji Fan. He Ji Fanâs expression looks firm. âIf she couldnât give birth then just let it be. Isnât it enough for He family to have one grandson, Zhou Zhou?â He Ji Fan suddenly feels rejoiced that he doesnât revealed Zhou Zhouâs birth to his family. âDonât forget we also have Yun Xiao, he also would have kids. Nai Naiâs grandson will not only be Zhou Zhou.â
Thatâs right, but.... Old Madame He says: âA Fan, but itâs not a minor thing, you should consider it.â
He Ji Fan: âI donât need time to consider anymore. I have thought about it. Nai Nai, you should know my attitude previously, you also know that I used to have a lot of girlfriends. No one could give me feeling or thought of getting married. Weir is the first one and last one. If thereâs no her, maybe now Iâm still playing around with my life. Nai Nai, I donât wish that you will support me, but at least donât oppose me to.â
He Ji Fan says it sincerely: âI know that you like Yu Shi, but I donât like her. Marrying her wouldnât make me happy. Marrying me wouldnât make her happy too. How could you have heart to let her marry with a man, who doesnât love her and ruins her life? She is a good woman, she should marry to someone that loves her.
Old Madame He is so immersed with He Ji Fanâs words. Chen Meng notices that Old Madame He is easily moved. âMa, how could you not be firm about this? Anyway I disapprove it.â
He Ji Fan raises his eyebrow: âMa, I remember that you have several secondary credit cards, the master cards are mine.â
Chen Meng: âWhat do you mean?â
He Ji Fan: âI donât mean anything. I just feel that you have too many cards. I am thinking that I should cut off several my credits.â
Chen Meng: âAre you threatening me?â
He Ji Fan: âI donât dare, you are my Ma.â
Chen Meng snorts: âDo you still know that Iâm your Ma?â
The chat ends on bad terms, Chen Meng is so angry. She says to He Zhang Ju: âWhat happened to you? How could you not help me to persuade A Fan. He is insensible, how could you act that way too?â
He Zhang Ju doesnât want to argue with her, he just says: âHe is not a kid anymore, he should know what he should do. Why should you argue with him? If he listens to your command and arrangement, how could he be in charge of the company?â
He Zhang Ju doesnât want to control and think too much about this. He has been in charge of the company for more than ten years. Every day he always be so worried and tired. Now he just wants to live his life quietly. Moreover, he also understands his own son. He isnât an impulsive one.
âYou and Ma donât stand on my side, even Yi Yi is helping Dou Weir. Do you know for whom, I am worried? Iâm doing this for He family. If you guys donât mind it, then I will not.â
âOkay, donât be angry. For his own matter, let him mind his own business. You shouldnât be worried for him for your whole life. On the other words, now you could oppose it, but if one day you are dead, he could just marry Dou Weir, could you mind him that time. Why should you make this unhappy situation?â
Chen Meng says that she wouldnât mind but how could she just let it go.
The next day morning at 09:00 a.m., Dou Weir bumps into Chen Meng at the door of Old Madame Douâs sickroom.
âYou donât mind to have a chat with me right? If you donât want, then we could chat here?â Chen Meng notices that Old Madame Dou is worried.
Dou Weir is unhappy at how Chen Meng looks at Old Madame Dou, she blocks her gaze and replies: âLetâs go.â
Thereâs a coffee shop beside the hospital.
Both of them order coffee. After the waiter goes away, Dou Weir speaks up: âYou could speak up now.â
âLeave Jing City, as far as you can.â Chen Meng says directly.
Dou Weir laughs. Chen Meng frowns.
âWhy should I leave?â
Chen Meng knows that Dou Weir will not agree to it easily, she laughs coldly and takes out a cheque out of her handbag.
Dou Weir looks at the writing on the cheque and nods: âOld Madame He is too generous. Iâve been working as model for two years, yet I never earn half of this.â
Chen Meng looks disdainful at her.
âBut now I have a great career, I would definitely be able to earn this much, I think I will earn much more than this. I think Iâm suffering a loss in this business.
Chen Meng knows what Dou Weir means, she asks unhappily: âThen how much do you want?â
Dou Weir shows her finger sign of ten. âMultiplied it with 10. If Madame He could give me that much, then I would immediately leave Jing City, what do you think?â
âYou.....â Cheng Mengâs face turns sour. Itâs clear that this amount of money is her limit. Multiplying it by ten, how could she have that kind of money? âYou shouldnât be insatiable.â
âSince Madame He cannot give me, then I think we have nothing to discuss anymore. Alright, I still have thing to do, I will not stay any longer. Bye.â Dou Weir stands up: âOh right, rather than waste the money and time on me, itâs better for you to spend your time to control your own son. Donât try to blame the others. If your own familyâs cat loves to eat other familyâs fish, you shouldnât blame the familyâs fish to be too delicious right? I think Madame He knows about it right?â
Chen Meng is so furious to hear about it. How could this woman dare to teach her!
Dou Weir goes out of the coffee shop. She stands there for three seconds. She narrows her eyes because of the dazzling sun.
She understands Chen Mengâs way of practice, she thinks if she is Chen Meng too, she will hope a best one to marry her son.
Old Madame Dou is worried about Dou Weir, she knows that Dou Weir is going out to talk with Chen Meng. He Ji Fanâs mother seems to be not easily get along with. She is afraid that Dou Weir suffer losses.
After an hour, Dou Weir also comes back. She is holding a takeaway box.
âWhat did Ji Fanâs Mama say to you?â Old Madame Dou asks worriedly.
âWe just chatted casually.â Dou Weir doesnât want to chat about this matter. She places the takeaway box in front of Old Madame Dou. âI bought you lunch too. Eat it, I ordered based on your taste.â
âIs she making things hard for you?â
Dou Weir says: âNai Nai, donât worry. I wouldnât let anyone mistreat me.â
Looking at how she is smiling, Old Madame Dou is quite regretting her action. She shouldnât try to match He Ji Fan and Dou Weir. âWeir, itâs Nai Naiâs fault. I just long for someone that could take care of you, yet I forget to consider the family condition of that someone. Was it because of Xiao He, Ji Fanâs Mama doesnât ......â
Old Madame Dou thinks that Chen Meng disapproves the relationship because of the inexistent Xiao He. Dou Weir doesnât plan to explain, she just says: âThose are unimportant, eat your meal, Nai Nai.â
Old Madame Dou eats the food and remembers something. âRemember last time I mentioned Wu Zhu Ren (Director Wu) right? She has a twenty six years old son and he is single. She has been asking me about you. I say that you are single jut before, she wants me to ask whether you are willing to meet him. She really likes you.â
âWu Zhu Ren is a good woman, you should be able to live happily with her family. Right?â
Dou Weir starts to have headache: âNai Nai...... I donât want...â
âJust meet him, think of him just as a friend.â
Dou Weir doesnât refuse anymore: âWhere will it be?â
Old Madame Dou is happy: âIâll talk to her now, Iâll ask her about the details.â She lifts up her phone and calls.
At night 05:30 p.m., He Ji Fan appears at Old Madame Douâs sickroom on time. He has two bouquets of flowers, a bouquet of lily and a bouquet of roses.
Old Madame Dou smiles and welcomes him. She is still friendly though she isnât that intimate anymore.
Before He Ji Fan and Dou Weir leave, Old Madame Dou couldnât help but ot sigh.
Dou Weir is holding the bouquet of roses and her cheeks turn red.
He Ji Fan never gave any bouquet of flowers for women.
Today he bought flowers because he saw a female employee got a bouquet of flowers from her boyfriend. So he goes to the flower shop to buy it.
The Porsche car stops in front of the jewelry store.
Dou Weir is startled: âWhat are you doing?â
He Ji Fan doesnât answer.
Dou Weir is startled: âWhat are we doing here?â
He Ji Fan doesnât answer her, he just takes her inside the store.
This is the Sheng familyâs largest jewelry store in Jing city.
The sales assistant notices He Ji Fan and says nothing much. She immediately takes him upstair. The upstair of the store is only reserved for the most respected guests.
âHe Xian Sheng (Mr He), the thing that you requested is here. Please take a look at it.â
There are three diamonds being showed. Dou Weir looks at it. Every diamond is more than ten carat.
She could guess silently what He Ji Fan wants to do, her heart is in a mess.
âThis one is the excellent one from the other two. Which want do you like?â
Thereâre a round diamond, tear drop diamond, and heart-shaped diamond. Dou Weir likes jewelry so she has quite good knowledge about it.
âYou donât like it?â He Ji Fan sees that Dou Weir doesnât say anything so he thinks that Dou Weir doesnât like it. He turns his head and asks: âThereâs nothing better?â
Without waiting for the answer, Dou Weir holds his arm. âNo need.â She repeats: âI donât need it.â
He Ji Fan looks at her and then takes the best one. âJust this one.â
âHe Ji Fan.....â
âThis is my first time to buy diamond for my beloved woman so you cannot refuse me.â He Ji Fan says to the sales assistant. âI hope that I could get the ring quickly.â
âWe will try our best. I will do it as quickly as we can. Miss, please give me your right hand, let me measure your finger size.â
They come out of the jewelry store, Dou Weir feels that everything is unreal. He Ji Fan said that this is his first time to buy a diamond for a woman. She doesnât believe it but she couldnât help but to believe it.
During the dinner, she is unfocused. She recalls the time Chen Meng gave her the cheque and the time He Ji Fan bought her a diamond. She keeps on thinking and her mind just turns into a chaos.
He Ji Fan notices that something is wrong with her. After the dinner, he just takes her to the department store. He remembers that in the past she loves to shop.
